Adelie was asking lots of questions about cancer and why people with cancer lose their hair. As we were discussing this, it came up that sometimes your hair grows back differently after you've lost it. Adelie seemed very concerned with the whole conversation, so we reassured her that she is healthy and does not need to worry about getting cancer. She replied, "Oh good, because I wouldn't want my hair to grow back differently. I really love my hair." #warpedpriorities
The other day Briggs came out of the playroom and announced that he had just cleaned up the whole playroom by himself. Getting him to clean up, especially without help, is often a struggle so I was praising him for cleaning up without even being asked. He replied, "It was a really big mess and all the toys kind of overwhelmed me." #soundslikehismom #ioftenfinditoverwhelming
We have been watching the Olympics as a family most evenings. The strict judging and picky commentary during gymnastics and diving have become a source of conversation (and comedy). The other day, Adelie said, "I wouldn't be a very good judge because I'd just give everyone really good scores." #sotrue #tookindtobeajudge
We were driving a few friends home from Stage Kids and Briggs was talking about his grandparents. He was explaining that he doesn't call his grandparents Sandy and Paul or Cathy and Mark, but instead calls them Grammie and Grandpa and Uma and Papa. He explained, "We don't like their real names, so we just gave them different ones." #iguessthatswhathethinks
During our Olympics viewing, Adelie kept commenting on all the gymnasts' sparkly leotards. The US team seemed to have different leotards for each different portion of the competition. At one point, Adelie asked, "Why are they wearing different leotards again?" To which Staley replied, "Probably because the other ones are being washed." #laundryismyolympicsport
